Abstract
Rehabilitation following an injury to the elbow joint complex is common in physical therapy practice. The unique anatomical considerations of the elbow joint provide a significant challenge to the therapist in rehabilitating elbow injuries. The purpose of this paper is to describe the rehabilitation process for various elbow pathologies and provide a rationale for their treatment. The rehabilitation process for the injured elbow presented in this paper will emphasize phases that are progressive, sequential, and based on clinical and scientific research.
